HAPPY SABBATH + C.L.O.E Christian









Are You A Sometime
A Part-Time 
Or A Committed Full-Time Christian!?! 

Are You A Full-Time Christian 
Who Does Full-Time Worship 
In The Presence Of Christians Called And Committed 
But
Behaves Contrary To The Call To Glory 
In The Presence Of Your Non-Christian Friends 
Because 
You "Want To Fit In And Not Make Waves 
Or Be A Square Peg In A Round Hole!?!" 

Is Your Walk With The Lord 
Built Upon The Holy Faith Which Is 
Confidence In Christ
 Love
Obedience 
   And 
Endurance!?! 

Beloved, 

Where Would You Be
What Would You Aka Could You Do
How Would You Feel, Survive
And 
Prosper 
If
Jesus Christ, Your Only Hope
Had Been The Part-Time Creator 
And 
Is Now Your Part-Time Savior
Redeemer
Great Physician
Friend
Provider, Sustainer,
Justifier, Sanctifier
Healer, Teacher
Shepherd, Defender
Lover Of Your Soul
And
Glorifier To Be!?! 

Stand Firm ...

Being An Uncomfortable-With-Sin Christian 
Is
Going To Light You Up 
And
Cut You Off From Friend And Family 
And
Make You A Target Of All The Foes Of Jesus Christ 
But
It Will Brand You As Favored
Blessed
And 
Protected By The Living, Holy
All-Knowing
Ever-Present
All-Seeing God Of Grace And Glory! 

Take Heed ... 

You Cannot Serve Two Masters: 
Part-Timers Don't Get Full Benefits! 

Please Commit To Humbly, Enduringly
Faithfully Carrying The Cross Of Shame 
So That You Will ... Immortalized
Incorruptibly Wear 
The Crown Of Life Aka Glory! 

Perfect Peace With Christ ... Is!

GRACE: SomeEnoughSufficient!







We Are All Well Aware Of The Statement 
Where Our God Known Real And Holy Says That 
His Grace Is Sufficient For Us! 

There Are Some Of Us Who Love To Say That 
We Live Under The Grace Of God 
And 
Not The Law Of God 
When Corrected For Whatever Reason! 

But Do We Ever Consider 
What Is Meant By Or Wrapped Up In 
Almighty God's Grace!?! 

Grace ... Like True Love
Feels ... And Works! 

Grace ... Unmerited Favor
Gives Unto Each One Of Us
- Deserving Or Not -
Favor Aka Loving Kindness 
And
Favors Aka Gifts For Love's Sake! 

Beloved, 

Have You Considered That 
You May Be Personally Depriving Yourself Of 
The Lord's Choicest Gifts 
Because 
You Are Not Drawing Close To Him 
In The Loving Intimacy Of Knowing!?! 

In The Biblical Knowing
Two People Become One 
In A Committed Love Relationship! 

When We Ultimately Become One With Christ
We Shall Be Like Him 
And
We Shall See Him As He Is 
Because
We Shall See Him Face To Face
But
For Us To Get To That Date
We Must Be Communing With Him Today! 

Grace 
Is 
Only Sufficient 
When We Have Had Some Of It In Its Fullness 
To Then Be Able To Say Enough 
For It To Be Sufficient ... For Our Then Need! 
We Need The Experience! 

To Truly Love The Lord Christ
We Must Start With Willing Obedience: 
Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace 
Where Mercy Is Free For Me And Thee! 
Peace Is The River Glorious!

Jesus Christ Will See Us Through ... It All!






Are You Anxious, Depressed, Fearful ... Guilty!?! 
Will You Admit It!?! 

Beloved, 

The Lord's Our Rock
And 
It Is In Him That We Should Confide
Hide 
And 
Abide! 

It Is Because Of Our Lord Christ's Love That 
We Are Able To Say That 
Our Creator God Has Not Given Us A Spirit Of Fear
But 
A Spirit Of Love 
And 
A Sound Mind! 

We Can Also Comfort Ourselves With The Knowledge That 
We Are Not Our Own
And 
Do Not Walk Alone 
And
We Can Still Give Praise 
Because
The Lord Is Our Shepherd 
And
Is The Shepherd Of Our Rest 
From All That Weighs Us Down! 

Hope In Jesus Christ The Lord!

Let Us For Love
With Faith 
And 
Blessed Endurance
Choose To Unceasingly Call Upon The Lord 
Who, Alone, Is Worthy To Be Praised 
To Save Us From The Enemy Called Doubt
- A Servant Of Satan - 
Which Is A Known Blood-Suckling Leech! 

The Satan Aka The Accuser
The Devil
The Piercing Serpent
The Dragon
Beelzebub Aka Lord Of Dung
Is
The Liar ... The Father Of Lies! 
Don't Believe Anything That He Or His Servants Say! 

Our Life 
Is 
In Our Blood 
So Refuse To Give In To Doubt 
And
Choose, Instead 
To Call
Persistently Pray
Plead
Beseech
And 
Petition Our Creator ... The Life-Giver
Jesus Christ The Lord
Who Shed His Innocent Blood 
So That We ... Guilty Of Sin
Don't Have To Spill Ours! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 
Pray For The Outpouring 
And 
Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit 
And
Choose To Keep Your Eyes Fixed 
And 
Focused On The King Who Is Love
Who Unreservedly Loves 
And 
Cares For You Individually 
And 
Personally! 

Please Heartily Hope Hungrily For Christ Jesus: 
He Is Your Peace! 
Be Confident In Christ!

Within The Love Of Almighty God!








Within The Love Of Almighty God To Fallen Man 
Is 
Correction, Direction, Protection 
An
Provision! 

Our God ... With Our Willing Cooperation
Corrects The Wayward Thoughts In Our Heads
Directs Our Footsteps To And On Straight Paths
Protects Our Bodies Within The Hedge Of Love That 
Is 
The Holy Law
And 
Provides Provisions For Our Every Need
Including The Ones That We Have Not Even Considered! 

Beloved, 

We Have The One-Stop For All Good And Perfect Gifts 
In The Almighty God, Father, Son, And Holy Spirit 
Who See, Hear, Feel 
And 
Know All Things About All Of Us At All Times! 

We Have ... As Our Very Own Helper And Healer
The Holy God Who Cries Us
And 
Rejoices Over Us: 
He Is Touched With The Feelings Of Our Infirmities
Our Short-Comings
Our Sorrows, Joys, Pains
And
Griefs! 

Our God Hates The Sin That 
So Easily Besets All Of Us 
But
Oh, How He Loves You And Me! 

Just So You Know ...

We Can't Disappoint The All-Knowing God
And 
We Can't Surprise The All-Seeing God 
But
We Are Well Able To Hurt Him
And
Shame Him! 

Don't You Think That Given All That He Has Done
Is Doing
And 
Will Do For Us That 
We Should Change Our Wrong Thoughts
Give Up Speaking Unkind Words 
And 
Stop Doing Evil Actions
And Instead
Show Favor To Our Ever-Present God 
By Doing What He Asks Us To Do Today!?! 

Be Obedient!
Be Kind!
Be Loving!
Be Giving!
Be Forgiving
And 
Be Enduring! 
By Faith, It Isn't Hard To Do! 

Remember That You Are Already Blessed!

THE INWARD LOOK: Spiritual Stock-Taking






What Are You Saying!?! 
Are You Aware Of What It Is That You Are Saying!?! 
Do You Understand That Your Mouth Speaks That 
Which Has Found A Home In Your Heart!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Careful! 

We Should All Be In The Season Of Stock-Taking 
And 
We Seriously Need To Personally Take Stock 
Take Knowledge Of What Things Are In 
The Various Departments Of The Storeroom That 
Is 
Our Heart! 

Where Is Love!?! 
Love For Christ!?! 
Love For Others!?! 

Have You Discarded Hate For Your Fellowman!?! 
Are You Indulging Hatred For Sin!?! 

Are You Cultivating Kindness, Caring
And 
Willing Service!?! 

Have You Discarded Spite, Malice, Greed
And 
Envy!?! 

Is Your Supply Of Saving Truth Daily Growing!?! 

Have You Discarded Lying, Innuendo, Half-Truth 
And 
Raging Deceit!?! 

Have You Ordered An Abundance Of Hope!?! 

Are You Actively Working Faith For Today!?! 

Are You Cultivating Prayer, Gratitude, Thankfulness 
And 
Willing Obedience!?! 

The Inward Look ... 

Please Take A Good Look At Your Heart! 
Open Every Department And Compartment 
And
Get Out The Gospel Hose 
And By Grace
Set The Pressure To New Heart 
And
Do The Necessary 
No Matter How Much It Hurts: 
Jesus Christ Heals Hurts! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Wrong Words
Just Like Spent Arrows 
And 
Lost Opportunities
Cannot Be Recalled 
But
You Can Start A New Thought 
And
Have A Godly Conversation 
The Likes Of Which Will Please Our Dear Lord! 

Kind Words Aid Sleep! 

Choose The Peace Of God!

Set Your "Radio" Dial To B.B.C!







The Elders, At Home, At School, And At Church 
Always Stressed To Us That 
We Should Finish What We Started! 
It Was Good Advice Then 
And 
It Is Good Advice Now! 

We Have The Promise Of Our Maker
The Eternal God 
And 
The Everlasting King That 
He Will See Us Safely To Our Forever Home! 

That Sure Promise Was Confirmed 
With Jesus Christ's Innocent Blood 
Being Visibly Spilt On Calvary's Hill! 
We Are Loved With An Everlasting Love!

Beloved, 

As Committed And Motivated Christians
We Need To Finish All That We Have Started For 
And 
In The Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ
The Righteous Judge Of All Flesh! 

We Need To Set Our "Radio" Dial To Station BBC: 
Be Aware! 
Believe! 
Commit! 

We Need To Be Aware Of Time
- Which Is Short - 
And 
Let Go Of The Past 
And
By Saving Grace
Walk Confidently With Our Lord Christ 
To The Land Of Pure Delight! 

We Need To Whole-Heartedly Believe That 
The Lord Loves Us Sacrificially
And
Will Never Forsake Us 
And
Is Guiding Us On The Path Of Purity! 

We Need To Commit Our Lives To Him 
Through Whom We Live 
And 
Breathe 
And 
Have Our Very Being! 

Be Wise For Your Own Self ... 

Now Is Not The Time To Play Amateur Christian! 
Now Is The Time To Go PRO! 

Now Is The Time To Be 
Patient In Our Trials
Responsive To The Call To Salvation 
And
Obedient To Almighty God's Will 
As We Grow Where We Are Planted 
To Serve The Lord Faithfully! 

Be Brave: 
Angels Are Watching Over You!

Believe ... In The Lord Christ! 
Believe ... The Living, Holy Word Of Truth
And 
Be Gloriously Blessed! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Grace And Sincerity!







Grace And Sincerity Are Two Words That 
We Truly Need To Pay Attention To 
As We Travel To Hill Zion! 

We, Humans, Were Created, Chosen, By Almighty God 
To Be Like Him
To Do A Special Work For Him
And 
Those Of Us Who Take The Calling Seriously
And 
Have Chosen By The Daily Gift Of Faith 
To Walk Under The Blood-Stained Banner Of 
Jesus Christ The Lord 
Will Make It Safely Home! 

We Will Do This By Choosing To Court, Seek, Grace 
Aka Almighty God's Favor That 
Is 
Sufficient For Our Every Need 
And
Walking Wisely With Sincerity 
Aka Total Devotion 
Aka Undying Love! 

We, Committed Christians, Cannot Live Like Worldlings 
Where Favor Is For A Fee 
And 
Undying Love Lasts As Long As It Is Comfortable 
And
Convenient! 

We Can't Buy The Eternal God's Favor 
And
We Have Nothing In Ourselves 
To Give To The Omnipotent God As A Favor! 

Think! 

The Creator God Desires You
Your Undying Love
And 
Your Willing Service 
And
Daily Equips You To Get To Him
Love Him 
And 
Serve Him 
If
It Is Your Will To Desire Him
And 
Be With Him In All Ways 
And
Always And Forevermore! 

Beloved, 

You Say That You Want Peace 
And 
Love
So, With The Confidence Of The Holy Faith
I Sincerely Point You To Jesus Christ The Lord
The Prince Of Peace
The God Who Is Love! 

Jesus Christ The King Knows Your Name 
And 
Your Every Need!
He Died ... And Lives ... For You!
Please Choose To Live For And Love Him
And
Dare To Give Him Your All: 
Eternity Is Almost Here!

HAPPY SABBATH + Stop Swallowing Satan's Sprats!










There's The Age-old Expression 
"Throw A Sprat To Catch A Whale!" 
Which Is Pertinent To Us 
Who Choose To Enduringly Walk Faithfully 
With The Lord Christ! 

Our Adversary, Satan The Damned
Is 
Playing A Long Game 
And 
He Is Notorious For "Giving Gifts" 
To Men, Women And Children 
For Them To Work Their Own Ruin
Both Temporal And Eternal! 
Do Not Be Deceived! 

Satan's "Gifts" To The Gullible
The Unwary 
And 
Those Honestly Lacking Knowledge Of His Devices
Are The Juicy Sprats! 

Those Persons Who Accept Satan's "Gifts" Are The Whales 
And 
This Scenario Makes Satan A Real False Fisherman! 

Satan 
Is 
Fishing For The Soul's Of Men As A Whole
And
For Your Life In Particular 
Aka Almighty God's Purchased Possession! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise! 

Don't Be Licorish Aka Greedy For Gain
For What Can't 
And 
Won't Last
Because
Any "Gift" Gotten From Satan
Is
Manufactured With Smoke And Mirrors! 

When Our Eyes
Our Tongues 
And 
Our Bellies Are Ruling Our Heads
It Is Then That Satan Can "Buy" Us Cheap 
And 
Give Us Over To Sure Damnation! 
It Doesn't Have To Be This Way!

Choose To Practice Temperance
And
Self-Denial
And
With Faith Working
Boldly, By Grace, Reject The Lying Murderer! 

The Lord Christ's Good Gifts To Us Make Us Rich 
And
Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow
They Add No Breath Of Sin, Shame, Sorrow
Death, Decay Or Damnation To Our Lives! 

Just As When We Are Warned To Be Wary Of 
Greeks Bearing Gifts
Let Us Remember Whose We Are
And
What Our Mission Is 
And
Choose To Look Forward ... By The True Gift Of Faith
To Beholding What Eyes Have Not Seen 
Nor Ears Heard Of What Jesus Christ Has Promised 
To Those Who Love, Trust, Worship 
And 
Willingly Obey Him! 

Please Dare To Strive For The Imperishable Gold 
And 
Not For The Fool's Gold Known Worthless! 

Moment-By-Moment
Actively Choose To Walk In The Light Of Life!
 

Peace On Earth
Is
The Gift Of The Almighty God!

**--**--**--**--**
 

Humility
Faith
Trust
Obedience
And
Endurance
Will, Together
See Us Arrive Safely In Heaven
With Our Lord Jesus Christ
And
Evermore ... In Peace ... Abide!

Contented ... in Christ Jesus!






Are You Contented Aka Pleased 
With What You Already Have!?! 

Are You Contented With 
And 
In The Lord Christ!?! 

It Is One Thing To Be Contented
And
Quite Another To Think That 
You Did "It" All By Yourself
And
Vainly Glory In Your Accomplishments!

Beloved, 

No Committed Christian 
Should So Depart From The Righteous Way 
And
Become So Proud Of Themselves 
To Dare Take The Glory Of The Lord Unto Themselves 
So That The Lord Must Humble Them 
And
Cause Them To Be Contented To Eat Grass For A Season 
In Order For Them To See The Light Of Saving Truth! 

Arrogant, Proud 
And
Pompously Foolish King Nebuchadnezzar Of Babylon 
Learned This Lesson The Hard Way! 

There Is Contentment 
And
There Is Contentment In Christ! 

There Is Having Satisfaction With Myself 
And
There Is Satisfaction In Ridding Me Of Self! 

Little With Contentment 
Is 
Of Great Gain When We Acknowledge That 
It Is The Living God Who Ever So Graciously Provides 
Every Last Thing That We Call Our Own! 

Like Everything Else In The Christian
We Have The Authority
The Freewill
The Freedom 
To Daily Decide ... By Almighty God's Great Grace
To Be Contented With What The Lord  ... In Love 
Has Graciously Provided
Be It Little Or Much! 

There Is No Profit In Baseless Pride!

Let Us From This Moment On Say 
"Thank You, Lord!" 
And
Glory In The Lord Of Life
Even As We Determine To Be Contented
With What The Lord Daily Provides For Us 
Since Our Provider 
Is 
Our Maker ... The Creator! 

Our Provider Is Also Our Hope, Help, And Salvation
Redeemer
Judge, Lord, God
And 
Forever Faithful Friend ... The Kind King: 
Rest Where The Lord Our Shepherd Gently Leads! 


To Be Contented In Christ
Is
To Have Perfect Peace!

Is Your Faith Exercising Trust In Jesus Christ The Lord!?!






Is Your Exercised Faith In Jesus Christ Fixed 
Or Is Your Faith Dependent Upon 
Your Every Prayer Being Answered 
Just As You Have Asked 
And
In The Time-Frame That You, A Mere Mortal, Has Specified 
To The Creator God 
Who Is All-Knowing, Almighty, And Eternal!?! 

Are You Mixing Faith With Sight!?! 

Are You Mixing Faith With Feelings!?! 

Does Your "Faith" Have You Reeling!?! 

Beloved, 

We Who Are Committed To The Lord Christ 
And 
The Way Of The Cross That Leads To The Heavenly Home
Cannot Afford The "Luxury" Of A Fair-Weather Faith 
With A Side Of Flitting Butterflies 
And 
A Generous Helping Of Thorn-Less, Perfectly Scented, Roses! 

The Children Of The Household Of Faith 
Must Stand Or Fall By The Word Of The Lord 
Which Clearly States Plainly That 
All Things Work
-  Answered Prayer Or Not - 
For The Good Of Us Who Are The Called 
According To The Purposes Of God!

We Must Be Able To Say
- Like Job And The Three Hebrew Worthies - 

"Live Or Die
I'm Trusting My Lord With My Life
And
All That Concerns Me!" 

We Who Are Headed To Hill Zion 
Must Be Able To Bear Disappointment 
Aka The Denial Of Even Godly Desires! 

We Must Be Able To Hold Strain 
Even When We Just Want To Curl Up And Die! 

We Must Trust The Living Word 
And Not The Lies Of The Devil! 

Jesus Christ Always Saves! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please ... By Grace Through Faith
Daily Choose To Moment-By-Moment Trust 
The Lord's Heavenly Love For You 
Even When You Can't Trace His Holy Hand 
Holding 
And 
Helping You! 

Peace!

DARKNESS CONDEMNS: Walk Peacefully ... Into The Light Of Life!







The Elders Always Used To Tell Us That 
You Could And Buy Land 
But 
You Can't Hide And Reap It: 
They Stood On The Solid Ground Of Living Truth! 

Beloved, 

Walking In The Light Of Almighty God's Truth
- The Light Of Life -
Is 
Our Sure Defence Against Those Who Seek 
To Unleash The Winds Of Strife 
Against Those Of Us Who They Disdain, Envy
Fear Or Just Plain Hate! 

Let Us Have Pity Upon Such Persons 
For They Do Not Realize That When You Sow The Wind 
You Shall Surely Reap The Whirlwind Aka The Judgment 
Which Destroys Everything In Its Path 
Be It Human, Animal, Plant, Or Building! 

Let Us Daily Remind Ourselves 
Never To Follow Friend, Family Or The Surging Crowds 
To Indulge In Activities Which Our Lord Christ Cannot 
And 
Will Not Bless 
No Matter How Much We Say "Lord, Lord!" 
And 
Sing Psalms, Hymns, And Spiritual Songs 
And 
Do Great Works Of Charity! 

If You Haven't Made A Human
Please See To It, By God's Great Grace, That 
You Do Not Raise Up Either Your Hand Or Your Voice 
To Destroy One! 

Do Not Dig Graves To Bury Others 
And 
Do Not Create Slippery Slopes 
The Likes Of Which You Shall Surely Fall Upon! 

Keep Your Eyes So That They Reflect The Light Of Glory 
And 
Keep Your Heart Fixed On Jesus Christ The Righteous
Who, Alone, Saves ... The Willing! 

Do Not Permit The Contrary Whispers In Your Ears 
To Egg You On To Do Evil! 

Dare To Walk Wisely 
And 
Humbly In The Light That Leads To Eternal Life: 
Darkness Condemns And Damns! 

Choose, Always, To Be At Peace With Almighty God!

My Heart Wants What It Wants!?!






No Committed Christian
- Having Confessed And Repented Of Known Sin
And 
Having Taken Jesus Christ As Their Everlasting Portion -
Should Ever Allow The Words 
"My Heart Wants What It Wants!" 
To Pass Their Lips With Regard To The Lust 
For Some Unholy, Fleeting, Fleshly Desire! 

The Lord Jesus ... Our Own Savior ... In The Living Word
Has Warned Us That 
The Heart Of Man Is Desperately Wicked 
And 
Beyond All Knowing! 

Beloved, 

Without The Reviving 
And 
Reforming Regenerative Power Of 
The Indwelling Holy Spirit Of Truth 
To Make The Living, Holy, Way Plain 
To Each One Of Us Individually ... And Personally
We Will Never See The Unclouded Day That 
Is 
Life In The Presence Of The Eternal God! 

The Human Heart
- Minus Christ In Us Our Hope For Glory - 
Is 
A Licensed Liar And Deceiver 
Even Deceiving Its Own Host! 

Are You Living Your Life 
Following The Hum And Hush Of 
Your Heart's Lustful Desires!?! 
Stop It! 

The Lord Our God Daily Gives Unto Each One Of Us
A Measure Of Enduring Faith 
And 
Encourages Us To Reason With Him 
And
Not With Ourselves! 

Self Is A Sinner! 
A Lustful Heart Is In The Sinner
And
Only Christ Can Remove Self From Us
And 
Give To Us The New Heart That 
Truly Beats For The Living God: 
Ask For It With Your Gift Of Enduring Faith 
And 
Lovingly Receive The Unfettered Blessing! 

Peace!
